Microsoft is forcing you to update to Windows 11, so be prepared to see this advertisement that stops you from using your computer
We can say that practically since its launch, Microsoft has bet heavily on Windows 11. This means that it has made every possible attempt so that most of us migrate from Windows 10 to the new version of the system as soon as possible. But not all the strategies it has used have been liked by users.
For example, over the past few years, we have been faced with various advertising campaigns trying to sell us the benefits of the new version. However, at this point, Windows 10 is still the most widely used operating system for desktop computers, unfortunately for Microsoft itself. We are about to end official support for this version of the software, but it is still the favorite of the majority.
We tell you all this because at this moment the software giant has just launched a powerful campaign for the same purpose. Specifically, we are referring to a full-screen ad that appears to Windows 10 users, trying to convince them to switch to Windows 11. First of all, we must take into account that we are dealing with an operating system that we have paid for. This means that it should be free of ads; hence, Microsoft itself calls these pop-ups notifications rather than ads.
We're telling you all this because one of the most eye-catching parts of this new ad campaign promoting the latest version of Windows is that it prevents the old version of Windows 10 from booting. Basically, we mean that the full-screen appearance of this new ad has been discovered to prevent Windows 10 from booting.
Currently, many users are reporting that these types of notifications occur after the advice to update to the new version is given. Therefore, we can say that it not only interrupts the work of Windows 10 but also does not allow us to continue it. At the moment, the real reason why this error occurs on computers when the new ad campaign is launched is unknown.
Some users are forced to reboot their computers. Of course, this is not the best way or tactic for Microsoft to convince the majority to install Windows 11. The software giant should rethink these types of campaigns that cause rejection more than anything else among its hundreds of millions of customers. All this despite the fact that Windows 10 only has a few months of its production life left. Next October, it will stop receiving updates, at least for free.
